Re-inventing The Lost Me
(Anthony Lawrence)
The road was dark and lonely,
So were the thoughts that rocked my mind.
I looked down the narrow lane,
That was long, winding, and arduous.
Had the fleeting thoughts of backing off,
Of retracing the footsteps I had just left behind.
But that was not what I wanted,
What I planned out for my life.
I asked my mind to help me out,
I searched for answers in my heart.
Surprisingly, they worked in tandem,
They both spoke in unison.
"Go ahead, start your journey.
Step forward, new horizons are beckoning."
But the road is dark?
Questioned the confused me.
"You will find light as you walk the lane."
And solitude of the journey?
How will I survive that?
"Let the emptiness of these lanes never haunt you again.
"Coz with a clear, right, and truthful conscience,
You will always find company along the way."
I found some strength,
In the otherwise weakened morale.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath,
Said a short prayer,
And took the first step of the journey,
That would soon open new vistas for me.
And suddenly the path was not that dark,
And I could spot a few people here and there.
And before I knew there was light all around,
The bright sun shining in the sky,
And lots of hustle and bustle all around?
Suddenly, it seemed life is vast, life is beautiful.
Suddenly, I started enjoying myself.
I closed my eyes in gratitude,
I closed my eyes to let the feeling sink in.
Only to open them a little later,
And find that it was all gone,
It had all vanished.
I lay alone on my bed,
Those lanes, those doubts had all been a dream.
I felt helpless, so utterly helpless
As I geared up for my day ahead.
I felt like crying my heart out loudly,
And this I did without any hassles,
And as the day unfolded slowly and steadily,
The clouds seemed to drift apart.
The sun was coming up on the horizon.
Something had changed and that I was sure,
But what was it, I could not make out,
I could feel the warmth, the exuberance of the day,
And I could feel the genuine smiles and happiness around me.
It appeared as if I drifted back again into my dream,
But it was all real and I was wide awake.
It was as if I was living my dream!
It was ?..as if I was reinventing ?.the real me!
